Went back to the track yesterday and laid down a new pb with all the changes I made. Unfortunately I got anxious after spinning out the first run and wanted to do a hot lap and get some heat into the tires. It hooked up the second time with a much better 1.71 60' but fueling was rich and egt soared, going to do some teardown but I am pretty sure I scorched a piston after a bit of detonation. If I had an eye on rpm and afr I don't think this would have happened but it's hard to say until I tear it down.

This truck was a fun project but it's time to send it down the road to a new owner. I've got little kids and spending time with them is more important right now. I'll put it up as is and see if anyone wants it as a whole, otherwise in a couple weeks I'll start parting it out. It should just need a $400 long block installed, but I don't have the weekends right now to gamble on it being as simple as that. I also don't want to invest time and energy into getting a vehicle ready to sell for maybe $7K when I could have just stripped it down to parts in a weekend and get $10K for it all in the classifieds...
I would be willing to take the turbo off to show the new owner that it isn't hurt, it spins freely and I don't think it ate any engine parts.
PM me if you are interested, I will put a full ad up in the classifieds soon. My time and energy to part it are worth about $3k so the first $7k can bring a trailer and pick it up...Worlds first propane turbo (originally) Ls powered vehicle!
